One Band, 5 Songs
Husker Du

Hailing from  Saint Paul, MN, Husker Du was formed in 1979 by guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton, and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart.  Before calling it a day in 1988, the band released six studio full-length albums, two live albums, two EPs, 10 singles, and two live albums (one released after the band broke up).  More importantly, the band was hugely influential, helping to pave the way for the alternative rock boom in the 1990s.

Bonus - Discography First Impressions: Gang of Youths

This was originally posted on the One Band, 5 Songs Patreon on October 14, 2024.


I first heard Australia’s Gang of Youths in 2022 when they released their third full-length album angel in realtime., but for whatever reason, their music didn’t stick with me.  While doing research for a future bonus audio, I rediscovered the band and decided to give their discography a whirl.  This is my first impression.

The Loved Ones

Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, The Loved Ones formed in 2003 when former members of The Curse (Dave Hause), Kid Dynamite (Michael Cotterman), and Trial by Fire (Mike Sneeringer) got together. In less than a decade, the band produced two full-length albums, two EPs, and one split before calling it a day. While they periodically reunite for a show here and there, the band formed, released a handful of excellent records, and then exited stage right all in about seven years.

Before last week, I'd never listened to an album by Coldplay. I'd heard of the band and even liked a few of their songs, but that was it. So I decided to change that and give them a go. I created a playlist with their albums and EPs, listened to it all, and recorded my first impressions.

One Band, 5 Songs
Bonus - Interview with Bopper (River City Rebels)

This was originally posted on the One Band, 5 Songs Patreon on July 31, 2024.


I have vivid memories of seeing the River City Rebels albums Racism, Religion And War and Playin' To Live, Livin' To Play in stores in the early 2000s (and I'm pretty sure I owned a copy of Playin' To Live, Livin' To Play at one time or another). Both albums have distinctive covers that leave an impression. Fast forward to 2024 and I got a message from a friend on Instagram suggesting I cover River City Rebels. He also admitted to being the band's roadie/merch guy, so I did what anyone with an ounce of journalism training would do (I have an AA in Broadcast Journalism btw) and I asked if he could hook me up with an interview/guest for the podcast.


Dan "Bopper" O'Day started River City Rebels in 1997 in Burlington, VT. During their initial run, the band released seven full-length albums and toured all over the world. After calling it a day in 2010, Bopper reformed the band and released their first new music in 13 with 2013's single "Humble Me" and the 2024 EP Pop Culture Baby.

One Band, 5 Songs
Songs We Couldn't Play Before

Originally, One Band, 5 Songs was only available on Spotify and thus limited to playing songs that were available on the service.  Now that the show is not limited to what we can play, I thought it would be fun to look back at five old episodes and play songs we couldn’t play before.
